Welcome to the world Sophia!

April 2017

New babies make my heart smile. Like realllly smile! Meeting sweet Sophia was a such an honor. She really was the sweetest baby and barely made a noise the entire time we were together. Her full head of dark rich hair and her perfect porcelain complex make her a real beauty! She looked so angelic in her white lace romper with her dainty blush bow. Just like a princess from a fairy tale. Also I have to say she is the cutest little bunny I’ve ever seen. 🙂

I was so thrilled when her Dad, David reached out to me. I’ve known him since High School and while we haven’t seen each other in a few years it was so nice to catch up and chat about all our mutal friends. His wife Kristin is just as lovely as I imagined (and have been told from friends). They are a great match and were so attentive to their new little bundle of joy. It was a great thing to see such great team work. Sophia is one very lucky little lady to have such amazing parents. (I also can tell she already has Dad wrapped around her little finger. He is one proud Dad!)

During Sophia’s newborn family session you could really see how much this family loves each other! Even Sophia’s grandmothers were on hand. They quietly sat in the corner and let her have her moment, all while they “ooo and awed” over how precious she was. It’s apparent that this new family of three has an amazing support system. Everyone was so calm and really enjoying the moment. Mom, Dad, and the Grandmothers were soaking up all the baby love and all had the biggest smiles on their faces. It really showed how amazing welcoming a child into the world is and the joy they bring to so many people.

As I’ve been told numerous times from friends and family “the days are long but the years are short”. Teague Family I hope you enjoy all the moments with this sweet, sweeeet little one. (Even the ugly 3am teething moments 🙂 ) For you Sophia I hope you “Play with Fairies, Ride with Unicorns, Swim with Mermaids, and Fly to the Moon!”

1st Birthday Party | Brooklyn

Happy Happy Birthday to you sweet Brooklyn! This little cutie invited me to her animal themed 1st Birthday Party.Friends and family celebrated this little one’s big milestone at her home. There were monkey treats, giraffe and lion cupcakes, and touches of safari animals all around the party. When I arrived at the Harris home Tim, Brooklyn’s Dad, had already started the BBQ and it smelled amazingggg. (No seriously the food was soo good! There is no way anyone went home hungry!) Ashlee, the birthday girl’s mom, was so welcoming and so excited for all the guests to arrive to celebrate their little one’s special day. They were so welcoming! All of the party guests were so friendly, at times I forgot I was even working. They even sent me home with full plate of food.

You could see the joy on Brooklyn’s face as she spent the afternoon with all loved ones. It was a great gathering that included over the moon Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and lots close friends excited to celebrate Brooklyn’s big day. Their favorite party of the day was seeing Brooklyn dig into her smash cake. She wasted no time and went straight into it!

As a Mom myself I understand how special your child’s 1st Birthday is. It truly is a huge milestone. Tim and Ashlee were beaming the whole afternoon. You could see how proud they are and how much love they have for their little one. She was showered with hugs and kisses the whole time. I can tell how much they have fun together as a family. 🙂

In that single year your life changes so much, from bringing home your itty bitty newborn, sleepless nights, teething, crawling, first words, and walking. The say the days are long but the years are short and it couldn’t be more true. So cheers to you Mom and Dad for surviving and enjoying all the highs and overcoming all the challenges. Happy 1st Birthday lovely Brooklyn and Happy 1st year of parenting, Ashlee and and Tim!

Spring in Charlotte, North Carolina does not disappoint! It for sure is the best time of year. The days are warm and the nights are still sweater weather. The greenery and blooms in April are gorgeous. Everyone is so thrilled to enjoy sunny beautiful days after a dreary winter. This year’s participating families came out excited and ready to enjoy the day. I was so excited to meet these precious parents and darling little ones for their Spring Family Portraits! All the little smirks and giggles from the little ones melted my hearts. They all were perfectly behaved and so happy to be in front the camera. It made me fall a little more in love with what I do. The smiles and laughs were so genuine and made me smile ear to ear!

Summer in full swing that means Fall is right around the corner. Which makes me sooo excited for FALL Mini Sessions! Stay tuned for Fall session info. It will be here fore you know it 🙂

April 2017 | Independence Park | Charlotte NC

I didn’t even think it was possible to have this much cuteness during one session! Big sister Logan and her little sister Collins had the best time during their Tea Party themed photog session. First lets start by saying that when their Mom contacted me for me for a spring session I was beyond thrilled! I’ve known Amy for a few years and was so excited for the opportunity to have a session with her two little ladies. Then she mentioned the magical words, “Would you up for a tea party themed session? “… UMM HECK YES! I loved the idea! I immediately said lets do it!

Logan and Collins loved “having tea”. The table was perfectly set for them with all the tea party essentials. The girls loved to play with each other. Seeing their little minds work, pretend, and use their imagine really is a wonderful thing. These sisters had a blast pouring and serving each other tea. It was the sweetest thing. They completely forgot about the camera and were so focused on having a good time with each other. Big fur sister Lily even joined the party. Also can we take note regarding these adorable matching outfits? They have little tea pots and cups on them with their monograms. Hands down the cutest duo I’ve ever seen!

No detail was overlooked for this amazing session. The Whisnant Family did an amazing job pulling together all the little details for this super adorable tea party session. You can see the sibling bond between these two precious sisters. Collins looks up to big sister and and Logan loves to pave the way for her. They already are the best of friends and I was so honored to be able to capture their bond on my camera. Mom and Dad, I see numerous tea parties together at home in the near future 😉
